The Gatchaspartan is a high speed aircraft that serves as the main mecha of the Science Ninja Team after the destruction of the New God Phoenix in Gatchaman Fighter. Unlike it's predecessors which were vehicles independent of the main mechs, the Gatchaspartan is a fusion of the teams 5 mechs and must have all of the team members on board in order to form the ship.
Arsenal
Hypershoot: A maneuver where the ship charges power into the G-1 vehicle and launches it towards the enemy mech with Ken riding on top of it, wielding the Gatchafencer sword. Ken then uses the Gatchafencer to cleave the giant enemy mech in half or ram into it and slice it from the inside. One of the drawbacks of this weapon is that the energy it emits is slowly killing Ken
Notes
- The Gatchaspartan's design is often compared to the Star Destroyer by Star Wars fans. This is unsurprising, as Star Wars was very popular in Japan at the time when Gatchaman Fighter aired back in 1979 and possibly influenced it's design direction.
- Fans often dub it "The Paper Airplane" due to its similarity in shape to one.
